Month-long event Totally Thames returns this September with river-related events taking place along the river's entire 42-mile course through the capital. The festival - much of which is free - celebrates the main waterway which winds its way through the heart of the city, through a diverse mix of art, music, and educational events both on the water and along its banks and bridges at various riverside locations from Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge and beyond. This year, the event explores unusual and untold stories connected to the River Thames and aims to raise awareness of plastic pollution. Highlights include The Ship of Tolerance, a moving international installation created by acclaimed artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov; the Barking Stink, two scented pop-up exhibitions to mark the important memory of Barking and Dagenham's vibrant industrial heritage; and screenings of A Plastic Ocean, named by David Attenborough as "one of the most important films of our time".
About River Thames
The River Thames, part of the longest river in England, is the waterway that winds its way through the centre of the capital. Once a bustling trade route bringing foreign trade to the city, it's now more commonly used for recreational purposes and the non-conformist commmuter. More about River Thames
